Roof Replacement Near You | Red Truck Roofing | Most Homes Done in One Day , GAF Master Elite , Golden Pledge Eligible , 4.8 Stars Across 262 Google Reviews
Roof replacement near you is a licensed roofer stripping your roof to the deck, replacing rotten wood, and installing a new code compliant system with a permit, a county final inspection and a manufacturer warranty registered in your name.
Red Truck Roofing (FL License CCC1332514) has serviced more than 6,000 roofs across Tampa Bay since March 2020, and most single family replacements are finished in one day.
Every replacement comes with three material options at three price points, a line item estimate, and a magnetic nail sweep before the last truck leaves. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Every Roof System We Replace , Installed by Crews Certified on It (Because a Tile Roof Put On by a Shingle Crew Is Where Leaks Come From)
Red Truck Roofing replaces every roof system sold in Florida: architectural shingle, standing seam and 5V metal, Tilcor, Decra, Unified Steel and Roser stone coated metal, Brava composite, concrete and clay tile including Ludowici, and flat roofs in modified bitumen, TPO and PVC.
Most roof replacement companies near you install shingles and subcontract the rest. We carry our own crews for all of it, and we are certified at the top tier by every manufacturer we install.

Shingle Roof Replacement in One Day
A shingle roof replacement strips the old roof to the deck, renails the decking to current code, installs a sealed underlayment, ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, new flashing and drip edge, and an architectural shingle nailed six per shingle to the manufacturer’s wind spec.
Most Tampa Bay homes are done in one day. Every GAF roof we install can qualify for the Golden Pledge, because Master Elite is the only tier GAF allows to offer it.
★★★★★
“Our experience was top notch from start to finish. The roof was completed in 1 day, the team was professional, there was a supervisor on site for any questions and they cleaned up very well after the work was completed. If you are in the market for a roof I would highly recommend them.”

Tile, Stone Coated Metal and Composite Roof Replacement
A tile roof replacement is two roofs: a waterproof underlayment system that does the sealing, and the tile on top that does the weather and the look.
Most tile roof failures in Florida are underlayment failures at year 25 to 30, not tile failures. We replace the underlayment, re-foam or re-nail the tile to Florida wind loads, and match Eagle, Boral and Ludowici profiles.
For owners who want the tile or shake look without the weight, Tilcor, Decra, Unified Steel and Roser stone coated metal weigh a fraction of concrete tile. Brava composite delivers a slate or cedar look on historic homes that cannot carry tile.
-
Metal Roof Replacement for Coastal and High Wind Homes
A metal roof replacement installs standing seam or 5V panels over a sealed deck and synthetic underlayment, with concealed or exposed fasteners engineered to Tampa Bay’s 140 to 160 mph design wind speed.
Near salt water we specify aluminum, because galvanized steel corrodes within a mile of the coast. Inland, 24 and 26 gauge Galvalume and painted steel deliver 40 to 60 years.
-
Flat Roof Replacement
A flat roof replacement removes the failed membrane down to sound insulation or deck, corrects the slope to the drains with tapered insulation where needed, and installs a new TPO, PVC or modified bitumen system with manufacturer backed warranties.
Ponding water is the enemy of every flat roof in Florida, and drainage is fixed before the new membrane goes on.
-
Multi Family Roof Replacement , an Entire Community in Weeks
Multi family roof replacement is Red Truck Roofing’s signature: one crew per building, several buildings at once, and a garden style community of more than 12 buildings finished in under three weeks.
Tenants get written notices before the first dumpster lands. Every building is magnet swept daily. Your regional manager or board gets one project manager, photo updates and one closeout package with permits, inspections and warranty registration.
Managing a community with a roof past its reserve schedule? Call (813) 733-8725 and ask for a multi family site walk.
The Florida Rules That Decide Whether You Need a New Roof at All
Florida law and your insurance carrier decide a surprising amount of what happens to your roof, and a roof replacement company near you that skips this conversation is selling, not advising. Here is how the rules actually break, in writing.
Roof permitted after March 1, 2009 (2007 Florida Building Code or later) Rule 01
Senate Bill 4-D (2022) allows repair of the damaged portion regardless of how much is damaged
You are not forced into a replacement by damage percentage
Roof permitted before March 1, 2009, more than 25 percent of a section damaged Rule 02
The 25 percent rule requires that section brought to current code
Replacement of that section is required
Shingle roof under 15 years old Rule 03
Florida Statute 627.7011 bars carriers from refusing coverage solely for roof age
Your carrier cannot make you replace it for age alone
Shingle roof 15 years or older Rule 04
A licensed inspection showing at least 5 years of remaining useful life protects coverage
Replace if the roof cannot pass, keep it if it can
New roof installed to the 2023 Florida Building Code with a sealed deck Rule 05
Wind mitigation credits on the OIR-B1-1802 form apply to the windstorm portion of your premium
Commonly $800 to $2,500 a year in savings on qualifying homes
Replacement after a named storm with a claim Rule 06
The 2023 AOB reform means you file and control the claim, not the roofer
We document, meet the adjuster, and you stay in charge
The Four Factors That Move a Roof From Repair to Replacement
Age Against Florida Sun
Asphalt shingles rated for 30 years deliver 20 to 25 in Hillsborough and Pinellas because of 240 plus days of sun a year. Granule loss, curling and brittle seal strips at year 18 to 22 mean the roof is done, whether or not it leaks yet.
The Insurance Clock
At 15 years, Florida carriers can ask for an inspection. At the point a licensed inspector cannot certify 5 years of remaining useful life, the roof has to be replaced to keep the policy. We tell you which side of that line you are on.
Multiple Slopes, Multiple Layers, or Wet Decking
Damage on more than one slope, a second layer of shingles under the first, or decking that is soft from the attic all point to replacement. A repair on top of any of these is money spent twice.
Cost Ratio
When the repair estimate crosses 20 percent of the replacement estimate, or the repair would repeat within two years, the replacement is the cheaper decision over the life of the house. We show you both numbers.
What a New Roof Actually Costs , Line by Line, No Lump Sums
Roof replacement in Tampa Bay runs from about $6,000 for a small shingle roof to $55,000 or more for high end tile and standing seam metal, based on Red Truck Roofing’s 2026 estimates.
BuildZoom reports our typical permitted project at roughly $18,000, which lines up with a mid size architectural shingle roof or an entry level metal roof.
| Roof Type | Typical Installed Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | $5,000 to $32,000 | Roof size, pitch, decking replacement, layers removed, warranty tier |
| Metal (5V, standing seam) | $10,000 to $45,000 | Gauge, standing seam vs 5V, aluminum vs steel, Kynar finish |
| Concrete or clay tile | $15,000 to $55,000 plus | Tile weight, attachment method, underlayment system, profile |
| Flat or low slope | $7,000 to $40,000 | Membrane type, insulation, drains and tapered systems |
Every estimate is written line by line: materials, labor, permit fees, dump fees and a decking allowance shown separately, with three material options at three price points.
The decking allowance is the number most roofers hide, and it is the one that turns a $14,000 roof into a $17,000 roof on the final invoice. Ours is on page one.

“Sarah handled everything for us! Was always there to answer questions over a call or text. Came to the house and explained the process and steps throughly. Lot of people won’t take the extra steps she did to make sure we knew what was happening and when. This company is also the only one that our warranty won’t end with when these named hurricanes come this season”
